Wanda the Warthog Who Worried by Frances Stickley - A Review

This one was an easy five stars for me. I’m always looking for picture books that open the door to real conversations without feeling heavy-handed, and Wanda the Warthog Who Worried does that beautifully. The writing has a gentle, reassuring tone (with a few genuinely funny moments), and the message about comparison and self-acceptance comes through in a way that feels kind—not preachy. The illustrations are bold and expressive, and they add so much personality.

This great read-aloud will connect, comfort, and spark a conversation. I’d happily recommend this to families, classrooms, and anyone who wants a warm story that helps kids feel good about being themselves.

I received an advance review copy of this book through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
